mapbeks

MapBeks is an online community of volunteers advocating for LGBTQ inclusion and representation through various mapping platforms like OpenStreetMap. They are also engaged in mapping LGBTQ-safe spaces and experiences, HIV/AIDS facilities, and COVID facilities. MapBeks doesn’t just make maps for the LGBTQI+ community—they’re very active in mapping for disaster preparedness as well. Their organization was formed because of a joint project with Philippine Red Cross to map Isabela before Typhoon Ompong hit the province in 2018.
